The sequence of courses for youth and adults strengthen the participant's capabilities to serve their community. In general, small groups of participants, working with the assistance of a tutor, meet together in an atmosphere of joy, calm and meditative serenity to engage in close study of the course materials. By studying these courses, they gain the spiritual insights and the practical skills needed to move forward on the path of service together.

As the participants advance from one course to the next, their capacity to carry out increasingly complex acts of service grows. All along, they are accompanied by their tutor and, in time, they naturally come to accompany friends with less experience. From the start, they are all protagonists of personal and social transformation, eagerly assuming responsibility for their own learning and for service to the community.

Junior youth between the ages of 11 to 15 are living a crucial period of their life. They are no longer children but they have not reached the fullness of youth. During this period, a number of powers of the mind develop in junior youth such as an acute sense of justice and the capacity to analyse their surroundings. With the advent of technology, globalisation, and the global environmental crisis amongst other things, junior youth are asking themselves fundamental questions regarding existence and want to discover their talents in order to help the world. At times they will be shy or courageous, they will say they want to be alone when in reality they are looking for support. These behaviours are temporary, but their vision of the world and the talents they will have developed will stay with them for life.

Our tutorial spaces work to enhance the intellectual abilities of young people as they finish elementary school and continue through their high school studies. Our efforts complement the Quebec school curriculum, with a focus on french and mathematics. We aim to strengthen academic commitment and performance while building capabilities to contribute to the wellbeing of the community. These more formal tutoring spaces are for students from grade 4 to secondary 2.

We also offer homework help for students in the higher grades of high school, secondary 3-5. This space allows them to get help with the various work they are given as well as studying for their exams.

These spaces are offered in collaboration with another local non-governmental organization called Wordswell Association for Community Learning.

The wellbeing and prosperity of families and the development of the community are interdependent. The family unit is the nucleus of human society – a space within which spiritual qualities, moral consciousness, and capacities essential to the betterment of the world are developed. The habits and patterns of conduct nurtured within the family are carried into the workplace, into the local community, into the social and political life of the country, and into the arena of international relations.

In connection with its efforts to support youth, the Neighbourhood Spot Community Centre draws families together for periodic workshops and retreats, providing a joyous, encouraging space to reflect and consult on themes central to supporting children and youth and the wellbeing and progress of the community
